You can get a type specific blood test in England - its just a pain to get it done sometimes.  Your GP can order it, but a GUM clinic won't do it.  

I'd doubt its herpes, though.  I'd wonder if its a prostate issue - sometimes that can cause pain in the tip of your penis.  You'd have to see your GP for a prostate exam.

No, it doesn't sound like herpes to me.  I'd ask your doctor to do a urine culture and a prostate exam.  Sometimes an inflamed prostate can cause pain in the tip of your penis.
